From the IHSAA
The 2011 IHSAA Girls Basketball State Finals will return to Fort Wayne for a second year following approval by the IHSAA’s executive committee June 24.
The decision was one of four significant items – three related to state tournaments – that resulted from the committee’s final meeting of the 2009-10 school year.
After hosting the state finals for the first time last March, a one-year agreement again has been reached to play the four state championship games at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum on Saturday, March 5, 2011.
“Fort Wayne and the people at Memorial Coliseum were tremendous hosts for the girls basketball state finals last winter,” said Commissioner Blake Ress. “The reception the teams and fans received made it a great experience, and we look forward to going back again next March.”
In addition to Fort Wayne, a bid to host the event also was received from Terre Haute, which had proposed the games be played at the Hulman Center. No Indianapolis venues are available on next year’s date.
Ball State to host gymnastics state finals
After 33 years, the girls gymnastics state finals will have a new home in 2011 as the committee approved Worthen Arena as host of that event on Saturday, March 19. Perry Meridian High School, which opted not to serve as host any longer, had been the site since 1978.
